2004-03-14
"I was a criminal imprisoned in the Dalian Forced Labour Camp. I have finished my term and been released. While there, I witnessed the persecution inflicted on Falun Gong practitioners.

However, once I had personal contact with them, I gradually realised that they all were very kind people." -
Speech from the International Conference on "Genocide in the New Era" by Former Prisoner of Conscience Zhang Cuiying
2004-03-12"After Jiang Zemin launched the persecution against Falun Gong, I went back to China again and again to call for justice, inform the Chinese people about the persecution and urge them to help end the persecution. What I got in return was eight months of torture in four prisons. I had to experience a lot of torture just because I wanted to say one sentence: "Falun Gong is good." I was beaten to the extent that my whole body was swollen; my body was black and blue. The pain kept me from sleeping." -
Speech from the International Conference on "Genocide in the New Era": Brightening the World, One Petal at a Time
2004-03-08"I stand before you today to give the most difficult speech I’ve ever had to give. Because at this moment, even as we speak, millions of children in China are suffering. They are suffering because they and their parents are upholding one of the very basic human rights, the freedom of belief. Their freedom came under attack more than four years ago in 1999, when the former Chinese leader, Jiang Zemin, banned Falun Gong." -
Speech from the International Conference on "Genocide in the New Era": Rule of Law vs. Rule by Law in China
2004-03-07"If one truly exercises a Constitutional right such as the freedom of press, the freedom of conscience, the freedom of expression, and the freedom of association, this person will end up in jail, if not dead. The cases of Falun Gong practitioners we have heard here are typical examples. They don’t cheat, they don’t steal, they don’t commit any criminal wrongdoing; instead they have been trying to follow their ancient teachings of Truthfulness, Compassion, and Tolerance to be good people. But in today’s China, it becomes wrong to be right, and it is right to be wrong." -

2004-03-06"Falun Dafa practitioners in China are losing their jobs, families, and even lives in order to protect their righteous belief in the best human qualities. Hereby I sincerely ask once more for all kind-hearted people, governments and media to reach out a helping hand and stop Jiang Zemin from persecuting Falun Gong practitioners. Let’s end this tragedy now. Let the Chinese people enjoy the same freedom of belief as people in the rest of the world and enjoy their belief in Truth, Compassion, Forbearance." -

Chinese Government Media Silent on NTD TV Interview With Mr. Li Hongzhi
2004-02-02Jiang Zemin's group never passes up a chance to attack Falun Gong, but it's remaining silent when the media around the world are reporting Mr. Li's interview. It seems that the contents of the interview struck at the Jiang regime's biggest weakness: he ordered the persecution of millions of innocent people out of jealousy and paranoia. Jiang Zemin's own statement that "I just don't believe I can't fix Falun Gong" is a transparent show of his resentment. -
Jiang's Group Wreaks Havoc in France, Tramples on Freedom, Equality and Fellowship
2004-01-31The latest incident in France is a replay of the Jiang regime's reprehensible behaviour in Germany and Iceland. They are using economic interests to entice and threaten democratic governments. Of course, the relevant members of the Chinese government delegation must also bear responsibility for this act that sold out conscience for personal gain. Their actions are helping Jiang's dictatorship to persecute good people. France is a democratic country, and the actions on the part of a few French officials are going against the trust placed in them by the French people -
